Fixed by downloading and installing: Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows Should this be: 1. Noted in the LibreOffice release notes 2. Something else? Thank you
It doesn't seem to be related to LibreOffice. Searching for 'api-ms-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll' in Google displays many other programs with the same problem, so the problem seems to be not having the library installed in the OS.
